English SDK documentation

(1/4) > >>

K4thos:
Hi,
I'm considering using FOnline for my project. After checking directories in latest SDK I didn't find English documentation that would explain all the basic things about this engine. There are BuildEn.cmd and BuildEnCHM.cmd files in 'Documentation/Source' directory that can generate HTML files in English (not CHM file due to errors during generation) but the output is incomplete compared to Russian version (there is untranslated stuff in English files and some things are left without any explanation even though FOnlineRu.chm has additional text there). Any chance for updating English documentation for international modders to match the Russian one content wise? (I'm aware that full documentation is not available yet)

devis:
Functions don't behave as expected, parameters use magic numbers, naming is wrong and the source is closed. The real English documentation only exists in the minds of the few fodevs. Are you sure you want to be here?

cthulchu:
devis, you're overcomplicating it a bit. Not all of the methods in the documentation work as one would expect, but the vast majority work exactly how it's documented and the best thing about the doc is that it's stuck near the 2238. Something like rev 412. So no vital documentation updates on newer releases since what like early 2014 pbbly.

Google translate should make the documentation a bit better.

That depends on what this engine really has to offer when it comes to Follout like games. First intuition was to check the documentation... :(

If this is the only way to get up to date documentation without Cyrillic than please upload docs to some server officially. For test I've converted CHM to HTML and uploaded it on my Github in order to translate it on the fly to English with Google Translate (via rawgit.com HTML preview) but google can't handle it. I don't have access to other servers in order to host it normally.

btw. I find it amusing that the documentation is available only in Russian and yet this forum asks me each time questions like "Drug that increases your Strength in Fallout 2" before I can post. How would I know the name of this drug - English is not my first language and I never played Fallout 2 in English.

edit: I assumed that this forum was created by FOnline author, and was hoping for reply from Cvet regarding his plans to update the documentation. Since he is not participating in international community discussions (can't find any of his posts written in English) the chance for proper documentation is slim. I think using FOnline engine for my project is not a good idea. Thanks for all the answers.
